Hello,

I read a bug about this issue and was hoping someone here had a work around.

I have a BackupPC server running an older unsupported version of
Fedora. I have new server with more disk space and an up to date
operating system. The goal is to migrate all the information over to
the new server

DD is not an option because the device on the existing BackupPC server
contains more than just BackupPC data. It would take to long and I
can't unmount the disk without effecting users.

I tried running BackupPC_tarPCCopy but the "Argument
/var/lib/BackupPC/pc must be an absolute path starting with
/var/lib/BackupPC/" error is displayed.

Is my only option to start creating the new pool from scratch? Or, is
there another way to copy the hardlinks created by BackupPC to the new
server?

Thanks in advance
